i am

‎"Respond" you said to me. I looked up, feeling cold and too automated. "Dream" you say. "I cannot", says I. "Cry" you order, you slammed your fist on the table. "I can only simulate." I replied. "LOVE ME" you begged. I put my head down and my light went out. You wrapped your arms around me, your palms on fire with the energy you wished to transmit. I warmed. I grew.... slowly. I feel my heart. Thank you.
